ANALISIS KONSENTRASI HIDROGEN SULFIDA (H2S) PADA AIR PORI SEDIMEN DI PERAIRAN SUNGSANG KABUPATEN BANYUASIN SUMATERA SELATAN
The coastal waters of Sungsang, located at the estuary of the Musi River, are characterized by high anthropogenic activity and environmental pollution potential, including contamination by hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) gas. H₂S is a toxic compound formed through sulfate reduction by anaerobic bacteria, posing a serious threat to aquatic life, particularly under anaerobic and low pH conditions. This study aims to analyze and compare H₂S concentrations in sediment pore water between inhabited and uninhabited coastal areas of Sungsang, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra. Pore water samples were collected from six stations using a purposive sampling method and analyzed by iodometric titration following SNI 6989.75-2009. The results showed that H₂S concentrations in inhabited areas were significantly higher (average 0.391 mg/L) than in uninhabited areas (average 0.0485 mg/L). An independent t-test confirmed a statistically significant difference between the two areas (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that human activities, such as domestic and industrial waste discharge, contribute to increased H₂S levels in coastal environments. Keywords: Hydrogen sulfide (h₂s), pore water, Sungsang coast, anthropogenic, iodometry
